Leopard Cat Halloween Makeup

To celebrate my love for Halloween (and cats) I thought I would mix both in a video for you guys and do a makeup look on my channel. If you are interested in my mediocre makeup skills, you can check out my video here: https://youtu.be/0vsVI2WcXrY and say my blog sent you! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

My love for Essie

Since watching ViviannaDoesMakeup (about 2 years ago) I have kept meaning to pick up an Essie polish, due to Anna's massive love for the nail brand. Being £8 for a polish, it's not the cheapest on the high-street but since treating myself to Cocktail Bling back in the summer I wish I started collected these lovely nail paints sooner!

Cocktail Bling is probably in the top 3 of my (kinda large) collection of polishes so listen up, it's GOOD! It's a gorgeous bluey purple grey, depending what light you see it in. It looks so chic on the nails, and goes with everything! The lovely wide brush makes it super easy to apply, only 2 coats needed, long lasting (6 days I wore this) and chip free, what more could you want?

I was in TK Max the other day and found a LOAD of a Essie polishes for £4!!! The colour selection wasn't great but I do regret picking another up. This colour is Sable Collar which is a dark metallic burgundy red - perfect for autumn. I believe the polishes they do in the store are discontinued in Boots so if you missed a shade you liked, go and check here! So I will defiantly go back to TK to look for some more bargins!

Any Essie polishes you would recommend?

Welcome Fall

I love how the Americans called autumn fall, I think it's so much more appropriate for this time of year but I no us English get annoyed at each other for saying something that isn't typically British, so I'll stick to saying autumn!

Even though my favourite season is summer, there has always been something I love about autumn; a hot chocolate whipped with cream and sprinkled with marshmallows, the dark evenings while cosing  up with my gorgeous cats to watch the newest episode of Strictly Come Dancing - my guilty pleasure.

The little things in life make me the happiest in autumn and not to forget, that a couple of fashion events come around this time of year! London and Paris fashion week all occur in these months, making me very excited for big Zara scarves, fluffy oversized khaki parkas and of course, beanies! 

Other occasions also exist during this months like Halloween, one of my favourite things ever as I love the adrenaline from being scared and all things spooky related. Bonfire night is not long after, something that tends to be forgotten but how can you not forget sparklers! Also my birthday is on the 22nd November (put that in your diary!) Eek I'm 16 this year, help! And then of course the build up to Christmas which is technically in winter but meh.

I just wanted to create a little post to appireciate the small things at this time of the year that make me happy. What makes you happy during fall/autumn? So should I do this every season, what do you think?
